FIANNA Fail TD Niall Collins has accused banks of “screwing” small
businesses, and called for a strategy to deal with small businesses,
sole traders and farmers.
According to the Limerick West Deputy, these small businesses are
having great difficulty in getting flexibility from the banks when it
comes to extending their leases or other standard financial
arrangements that would previously have been commonplace.
“The banks are screwing these small businesses, these sole traders,
these farmers. They are offering no degree of flexibility and they are
starting to drive these businesses to the wall,” Deputy Collins said.
